slngsht

for 2009, we should definitely look to get some local help (high school kids??) to take over some of the functions, so the organizer gets to enjoy the event as well. About Martin's trip, getting together with Jon W. is also worth a mention... it doesn't have to be an event... if you're going out of town, post up, and maybe a get-togther with another forum member from another part of the country happens. For me personally, that's the part I enjoy the most.

Seth, I think my shock settings were too stiff... backing off on compression was a huge help and the problem is much less pronounced, although at the end of my autox runs yesterday, when I slammed the brakes, I could still feel it. I think playing with the shock settings will cure this problem.

That's why it ain't for me

USA = English or Espanol :skep:

JOP, where in Virginia are you? There are a bunch of us in the DC area

Our frappr map shows one: Herb Flower in Salt Lake City

and here are some pics: Here, Tom is explaining to Jon that there are no cones between Aberdeen and Tom's house. They got into a huge shouting match, and finally Jon pulled out the map. Jon was banging on a spot on the map and yelling at Tom: "I know there is a cone there, because I've run over it twice :cuss: Right before I took the picture, they decided to look happy, so Al would show up at the next autocross http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1117137491_CIMG1880.JPG These are Norm and Martin. When Tom and Jon had the shouting match, Norm and Martin moved away so people wouldn't think they're all together http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/915151555_CIMG1881.JPG Well, alright, I only took 2 pics, but at least I had a good narrative

What a great day. Got to meet Tom and Martin for the first time today :thumbs: Here is a vid of all my 5 runs. A bit unusual for me (and it's a good thing): I got in 5 clean runs, and my times improved with each run. The only exception MIGHT be between my 3rd and 4th run, when Box-mycarislightenoughtoglideoverthetimingequipment-ologist decided everybody could use a 30 minute break :rofl: http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/slngsht/AberdeenAutox.wmv I had a great time.

Man, that's a bummer :cry:

YouTube Video

:rofl: If my son's little toy ends up with more than 100 HP, I will be in the market for a dog house

can you take a couple closeups of the side deflector? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1400828818_DSC_4295%20(Medium).JPG I've been thinking about modding my rear fender to smooth the transition from the body... this looks similar. Also curious about the owner's impression of its effectiveness.

I did take a vid... I found my video taking skills were pretty much a good match for their basketball skills. I often found myself so involved with the game that I had the vid pointed to the opposite end of the court

At 8 years old, he's quite smart for his age

Great showing! Just out of curiosity, what are the winning quarter mile times? Did Dino run the quarter?

Basketball game. At half time, we were behind 6-0 :lol: We lost 14-7 :crazy: He had a great time. Didn't take a shot, but was a one man wrecking crew on defense

Martin, looks like there are plenty of "seven buddies" to keep you busy on the east coast

I don't know what my status is for staying after.

Arkansas :jester:

I backed off on the compression, and took her for a short drive. This seems to have cured it. BUT, today was a much cooler day, and I didn't have enough time to warm the tires up. So it's possible lower traction due to cooler tires was the reason they didn't hop.

ring ring... Hello, Al? This is Mazda's family calling. Have you seen him?

It's been posted here somewhere... too lazy to look for it today. It'd be awesome if I can get motivated enough to build something like that with Cameron.

Car looks good too :leaving:

I have already tested the Rotus to a factor of safety of 3 for you

you're certainly getting your money's worth out of your seven :thumbs:
